How would you feel about making money from other peoples losses?

I have been looking into an online business venture which involves getting people to register with and deposit money with casinos. The casino then pay you for getting that custom for them.
The money looks good and I have seen people talking on forums about money they have made from doing it, but there's something holding me back.
Do you think it is unethical to make money by convincing people that they should join the casinos and spend their money there?
Part of me thinks that it's fine, as the people have to be adults and should therefore be responsible enough to make decisions about what they do with their money, yet the other part just feels like it's a shady way of making money off of other people.
Any thoughts?

Yeah I would feel bad for promoting people to loose their hard earned money online at at casino. It just seems wrong , you should be warning them to not get carred away if they choose to spend money in that way , not encourage it and watch them tear themselfs apart finanically and emotionally.

Maybe you're right, you shouldn't do it because some people would actually spend lots of money on those casinos. But, maybe while you're convincing people to deposit in the casino, you should warn them about the future problems. That should loose it up a notch the bad feeling.

Well making money from the misery of other is just something i find wrong.Gambling especially online is the worst possible place for an addicted gambler to go.The gambler will loose track of time and gamble money that they do not even have by using a credit card.Gamblers that are addicted will gamble until every last penny they can get their hands on is spend and then steal or commit fraud to obtain more funds.Gambling can be a fun thing if done occupationally and you only spend a set budget.If you gamble to make money you will almost always come out a looser.
